I don’t use Apple - so how does it do updates? Does it automatically download & install updates or can you choose to do download/install manually or ?

The last update before the latest update trashed my iPhone 6.
Rebooted itself every 2-3 minutes, dropped phone calls, all my alarms and reminders gone...
Pretty sure my next phone will be an Android.
